STEAMER-DECK-CHAIR SUPPORT.

Application filed June 29, 1927. SerialNo. 202,174.

My invention relates to a. steamer deck chair support. A 1

'One of the objects of myuinvention is to provideaa support. for steamerdeck chairs which suspends the chair'abovedeck, in such a manner as toprevent the ing with the steamer. v U

Another ob ect of my invention 1s to prochair from rock vide a supportwhich may be quickly folded,

so as to occupy very little space.

The inventlon possesses many other oh ects and valuable features, someotwhich will be i set. forth in the following descriptionof the inventionwhich isillustrated in, the draw ings forming part of thespecification.It is 1 to be understood that I do not limit myself to the showing madeby thesaid description 1 and drawings, asI may adopt varyingforms of myinvention within the scope of the claims. 1 M

Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the support with a steamer chair shownsuspended therefrom.

Fig. 2'is a front elevational view of the support and chair taken in thedirection indicated by the arrow 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3-is a sectional plan view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, andshowing the support folded. I

In terms of broad inclusion my invention comprises a frame provided witha plurality of legs to insure its stability, One of said legs is mountedon an outwardly extending arm which is journaled at its lower end in amember of the frame. Due to the fact that the upper end of the arm isfree, it provides for a certain degree of elasticity and resiliency;From the end of the arm issuspended a. yoke for detachably supporting aconventional steamer chair and means are further provided forresiliently resisting any oscillatory movement of the chair. Thearrangement of the frame members is such that they may be. folded tooccupy a substantially single plane surface, thus economizing ship deckspace when the support is not in use.

In greater detail my support is made up of a frame member comprising thelegs 2 and 3 secured together by the bar 4, at the center of which isdisposed a socket journal 6 for the support of the lower end of an arm 7rising upwardly thru the journal 8, into which the converging upper endsof the legs 2 and 3 are fastened. Fixed to the arm 7 and extendingoutwardly and downwardly therefrom are the spaced supports 9 securedtogether at their outer ends by a fitting 11 and forming a third leg togive stability to the frame. 1 I I i g The arm 7 above the journal 8 iscurved out-; wardly and in vertical alignment with supports 9 to form aresilient hanger for the yokel2 which is secured to arm? by means of aball and-socket jolnt 13.

A steamer chalr of the conventional type maybe secured onthe yoke 12which is formed 7 with. hooks 14 adapted to engage the crotch formedbythe chair ra1ls16 and 17, and with clamps 18 for engaging-the arm restsupport 19. The chair rails 16 and 17. are braced at When the chairisnot in use and itis-desired to store the frame, the overhanging arm 7together with the leg formed by spaced sup-; ports 9, are swung intoplanar alignment with the rear legs 2and 3. The supports 9 are providedwith offset or indented portions 26, to accommodate the portions of thestationary members of the support which would otherwise prevent thealignment. I

Further, I preclude the possibility of any sliding movement'of thesupport on the deck by providing the legs 2 and 3 and the fitting 11with sockets 27 fitted with frictional blocks 28 of cork or rubber,whichmay be fastened therein by an adhesive or any other suitable means.

I thus provide a support which will maintain the attached chair in asubstantially stationary position regardless. of the degree of movementor roll I claim:

4. A support comprising a frame member having legs, an arm journaled forrotary movement in said member, a leg fixed to said arm, and meanssecured to said arm for suspending a chair therefrom.

5. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending, resilient arm journaled for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixed to said arm; and means secured to said arm for suspending achair therefrom.

(i. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending, resilient arm journaied for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixed to said arm and in vertical alignment therewith; and meanssecured to said arm for suspending a chair therefrom.

7. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending, resilient arm jonrnaled for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixed to said arm and in vertical alignment therewith; and a yokesecured to said arm for suspending a chair therefrom.

8. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending, resilient arm journaled for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixed to said arm and in verti 'al alignment therewith; and a yokepivotally secured to said arm for suspending a chair therefrom.

9. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending, resilient arm jonrnaled for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixed to said arm and in vertical alignn'ient therewith; a yokepivotally secured to said arm; and books on said yoke.

10. A support for a chair comprising a frame including a frame memberhaving legs; and outi'ardly extending, resilient arm journaled forrotary movementin said member, a leg fixed to said arm and in verticalalignment therewith; a yoke pivotally secured to said arm; hooks on saidyoke; and elastic means secured to said frame and chair.

11. A support comprising a frame member having legs; an outwardlyextending arm journaled for rotary movement in said member; aleg fixedto said arm and in vertical alignment therewith; and indentations insaid leg to permit planar alignment of the leg, arm, and frame member.

12. A support comprising a frame member having legs, an arm journaledfor rotary movement in said n'iember, and adapted to support an objecttherefrom, and a leg fixed to said arm.

In testimony whereof, l have hereunto set my hand.
